There is More to the Secret: An Examination of Rhonda Byrne's Bestselling Book 'The Secret'

Written by Ed Gungor

Narrated by Ed Gungor

Is it possible to believe in both God and the law of attraction? Isn't this all just some New Age, "power of the mind" thing? If the law of attraction works, why isn't it in the Bible – or is it? Questions like these are being asked by people around the world after reading the best-selling book, The Secret. According to the law of attraction, you can have virtually anything desired if your mind is trained to put out continual thoughts to attract it into your life. In this deeply compelling work, Ed Gungor seeks to establish a more complete and accurate representation of the power of the mind by explaining the role that God plays in the equation. This book is not written to attack but rather to examine what the author believes is misguided advice while still speaking to the heart-felt need that is causing so many to explore this ancient practice. Some of his views may surprise you. There is more to the story that must be told.

Reviews for There is More to the Secret

[spbooks_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Attempts to adopt the new age concept of the so-called Law of Attraction promoted in the book and DVD, "The Secret" and "baptize" it with Christian theology. The Law of Attraction states that, by thinking positively about anything you want, it will be attracted to you and you're guaranteed to get it.   There are some good points made in the book but they would be good advice without the "law". The author resorts to biblical proof texting, application of pop-psychology, and a host of qualifications that make the Law of Attraction pretty pointless.
